Later, Zijing had no choice but to use her own spirit stones to construct an array to assist Longdan's cultivation.
After working for several hours, Zijing was exhausted and had even used up some of her own spirit stones, which is why she felt she had been ripped off and immediately demanded more money as soon as she entered Yefeng's tent.
"It's just a few spirit stones, is it really that big of a deal?" Ye Feng chuckled.
"Those are top-grade spirit stones!" Zijing exclaimed.
One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Zijing used a few high-grade spirit stones to help Longdan cultivate, which is equivalent to consuming several hundred low-grade spirit stones.
This was quite unexpected for Ye Feng.
"Don't worry, I'll reimburse you for the spirit stones you used, but are you sure you really used a few high-grade spirit stones to assist your cultivation?" Ye Feng asked.
"Of course I'm sure, would I lie to you?" Zijing said, staring wide-eyed.
“I’ll go find the dragon’s gall in a bit. If after my examination I find that you really did use a few high-grade spirit stones to help her cultivate, I will compensate you,” Ye Feng said.
Zijing's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "You don't need to go and check on her yourself, do you? You are the city lord of our Xinluo City, so busy with affairs of state every day. You don't need to do such trivial things yourself."
"It's alright, I was just planning to go for a walk after dinner anyway, and it won't take much time to check out the gentians," Ye Feng said.
"Really, you don't need to..."
Zijing said guiltily.
Ye Feng grabbed Zi Jing's ear, twisted it halfway, and pulled her in front of him: "Then tell me honestly, how many spirit stones did you use, and were they high-grade spirit stones?"
Seeing that she couldn't get away with it, Zijing had no choice but to honestly answer, "I used three spirit stones, yes...yes..."
"What is it?" Night Wind questioned.
"It's a low-grade spirit stone," Zijing said awkwardly.
"Well, you used three low-grade spirit stones to help Longdan cultivate, and you actually dared to lie about the cost, saying you used several high-grade spirit stones! You have quite the nerve!"
Night Breeze said, annoyed but also amused.
Then Ye Feng picked up Zijing and placed her horizontally on his lap.
Clap clap clap!
Night Wind's slaps landed on Zijing's bottom again and again, making the brat howl in pain.
"Stop hitting me, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I'll never do it again..."
Zijing screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and kicked wildly on Yefeng's legs, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape Yefeng's grasp.
Night Wind said irritably, "Do you really have to go through with this? You're a peak-stage Separation and Union Realm martial artist, and you're willing to throw away your dignity for a few high-grade spirit stones?"
"What's more, you're the Director of the Censorate of our Silla City, responsible for overseeing officials in all departments! Now that other officials haven't run into trouble, you, the Director of the Censorate, have run into trouble first. You're really asking for a beating!"
Zijing yelled, "I was just trying to joke with you..."
"How can you joke like that!" Ye Feng roared.
Just then, Luo Lin and Luo Qing walked in together from outside.
When they saw Ye Feng pressing Zi Jing down on his lap and spanking her buttocks, Luo Lin and Luo Qing were stunned and speechless.
It was only then that Ye Feng realized his two adopted offspring had arrived. He quickly released Zi Jing, who also hurriedly jumped off Ye Feng's lap, covering her bottom and retreating to the side.
"Ahem... This brat lied about the expenses, trying to swindle high-grade spirit stones from me..." Ye Feng explained somewhat awkwardly.
Rowling quickly replied, "Grandpa, you don't need to explain, I understand."
“I understand, I can comprehend it.” Luo Qing nodded quickly.
Night Wind glared fiercely at Zijing again.
It's all this girl's fault.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be in such an awkward situation!
Two days passed quickly.
Luo Qing's research on the fully automatic explosive rifle quickly yielded results.
It was still the place where the spirit stone grenades were being tested. As soon as Ye Feng arrived, he saw Luo Qing looking expectant and Luo Lin with a smile on her face.
Jiang Wei and several guards were also there.
"Ancestor, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for ages!" Luo Qing said cheerfully.
"Sorry, something came up and I was held up a little," Ye Feng said.
"Ancestor, come quickly!"
As Luo Qing spoke, she grabbed Ye Feng's hand and pulled him to a table.
There are three guns on this table, and these three guns are the fully automatic explosive rifles that Luo Qing made.
"Ancestor, I've prepared the sample you requested. Now, give it a try," Luo Qing said expectantly.
Night Wind then picked up one of the fully automatic Explosive Rifles and tested its feel.
Then he discovered that the fully automatic explosive rifle was very light, extremely light, weighing less than two pounds in total.
This weight far exceeded Ye Feng's expectations.
Ye Feng had thought that reducing the weight to two kilograms would be the limit, but the sample Luo Qing produced was even lighter than he had expected, so Ye Feng was very satisfied with the result.
Because this type of firearm was designed with ordinary people in mind, Nightwind continuously optimized its weight.
The strength and stamina of ordinary people are far inferior to those of martial artists.
If a weapon is too heavy, it will inevitably affect the speed of marching and increase the difficulty of using it.
Therefore, reducing the weight to less than two pounds will significantly reduce the difficulty of use and also increase the marching speed!
"How can it be so light?" Night Wind asked.
"Because most of them are made of wood," Luo Qing said with a smile.
Rowling walked over and said, "Ancestor, Qing'er and I have studied this weapon carefully and found that most parts of it do not need to be made of steel; wood can suffice. This not only reduces the difficulty of manufacturing but also lightens the weight."
"Most importantly, wood is much cheaper than steel. Other things may be scarce in the Death Mountains, but wood is certainly not lacking."
Rowling is right; there is indeed plenty of timber in this place.
Moreover, Xinluo City is currently under rapid construction and has a huge demand for steel. Therefore, replacing most parts of this firearm with wood would be more suitable, whether from a cost-effectiveness perspective or from other perspectives.
As for the fact that replacing steel with wood would reduce the strength of firearms, this is a drawback, but it is insignificant.
After all, this kind of firearm is not meant to directly attack the opponent, but to attack the opponent by firing explosive bullets.
Therefore, the strength of the firearm itself is not a major issue.
"Has the problem of extracting spiritual energy from artificial spirit stones also been solved?" Ye Feng asked.
